Abstract
Objective: to assess the Interactive Breastfeeding Scale reliability.
Method: a methodological study that followed the third stage of Pasquali’s method for the elaboration of scales, carried out with 216 postpartum women at a university hospital in southeastern Brazil. To assess reliability, percentage of agreement (pa) above 80%, the weighted Kappa (Kp), Gwet’s second-order agreement coefficient (AC2) and Cronbach’s alpha were used.
Results: the percentage of agreement was 83.33%; the overall Cronbach’s alpha value was 0.67; the AC2 coefficient with quadratic and linear weights obtained near-perfect reliability.
Conclusion and implication for practice: the Interactive Breastfeeding Scale reliability assessment was high, and it was confirmed by the results that ensure instrument quality in the population studied, proving to be a reliable and valid instrument to assess factors that interfere in the mother-child interaction while breastfeeding.

Resumo
Objetivo: avaliar a confiabilidade da Escala Interativa de Amamentação.
Método: estudo metodológico, que seguiu a terceira etapa do método de Pasquali para elaboração de escalas, desenvolvido com 216 puérperas, em hospital universitário da região Sudeste do Brasil. Para avaliação da confiabilidade, foram utilizados o percentual de concordância (pa) acima de 80%, o Kappa ponderado (Kp), a second-order agreement coefficient (AC2) de Gwet e o alfa de Cronbach.
Resultados: o percentual de concordância dos itens foi de 83,33%; o valor global do alfa de Cronbach foi de 0,67; o coeficiente AC2 com ponderações quadrática e linear obteve a confiabilidade quase perfeita.
Conclusão e implicação para a prática: a avaliação da confiabilidade da Escala Interativa de Amamentação foi alta, e foi confirmada pelos resultados que asseguram a qualidade do instrumento na população estudada, mostrando-se um instrumento confiável e válido para avaliar os fatores que interferem na interação mãe-filho durante a amamentação.
